Subretinal injection is a highly delicate procedure that demands micron-level precision to avoid irreversible retinal damage. Current robotic systems achieve accurate positioning but remain limited by retinal motion and the lack of tip-force feedback. We present the first adaptive tip-force compensa…
Retinal vein cannulation (RVC) is a minimally invasive microsurgical procedure for treating retinal vein occlusion (RVO), a leading cause of vision impairment. However, the small size and fragility of retinal veins, coupled with the need for high-precision, tremor-free needle manipulation, create si
Robotic platforms provide consistent and precise tool positioning that significantly enhances retinal microsurgery. Integrating such systems with intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) enables image-guided robotic interventions, allowing autonomous performance of advanced treatments, suc
A surgeon’s physiological hand tremor can significantly impact the outcome of delicate and precise retinal surgery, such as retinal vein cannulation (RVC) and epiretinal membrane peeling. Robot-assisted eye surgery technology provides ophthalmologists with advanced capabilities such as hand tremor c…
This paper proposes an EMG-dependant neural network-based model of human forearm during interaction with a haptic training simulator of sinus endoscopy. We used a conventional lumped mass-spring-damper model as a base model, beside which we took effects of muscle activation level, using surface elec…
